I still see an AMD chip in my computer, and nice, large visible chips in the stores.
Eh?
What did you expect? To "see" invidual swarms of those semiconductors the size of human hairs somewhere?
Your AMD chip isn't a single semiconductor, new Bartons have over 50 MILLION transistors in them with a core size of 1cm^2, it doesn't take much math to figure out size of one invidual semiconductor in there and it's WAY smaller than any human hair ever.
Even so, the Canadians continue to knowingly exploit (and partially, sustain) the unfair situation created by DeBeers by keeping same high price levels.
Not that these new artificial businesses are free from that sin if they truly plan to charge around 50% of what DeBeers diamonds cost even if it only takes few dollars to make those rocks...
Regardless of what you claim, no human, and that includes communists, has EVER had, and never will have, an absolute power to impose any system they wanted, we will always be bound by our own defects.
Even the most perfect theoretical system will only be as good as people who run it, Soviet Union tells nothing about communism as an ideal, only about (admittedly huge) shortcomings people who ran it.
Just because you don't know every frickin' program someone makes for Gnome or KDE by name there is no way you might be interested in them after you hear what they actually do?
HEeeee-llo. Earth here, come out of the clouds for a while, please.
The fact that it hasn't been done probably indicates that it can't be done.
Humans have enough mad scientists and Dr. Mengeles that SOMEONE has damn certainly tried it, and we probably would've heard (and seen) if it had succeeded.
Microsoft is responsible for most binaries clogging discussion, warez ppl tend to stay in their own groups, it's your standard OE nut posting html and pictures into text-only discussion groups that are really annoying.
I don't see that going away with whatever they are going to invent now, and it can even get lot worse...
Yup. Kind of funny that those opera nuts always whine that other people are stealing their "innovations", and then give these kind of things as an example, whoo-pee-doo, threaded mail has been in mutt for aeons before anyone even DREAMED about Opera.
AFAIK, there has already been some research in mind-controlled jet fighter area...
Not in steering systems like this wheelchair, but the actual firing mechanism, you might save whole second if time from though to actually pressing the trigger could be eliminated.
Um. Galeon and Epiphany are Mozilla based browsers just as much as Firebird, in case you haven't noticed. They're just wrapped in native toolkit to fit in with themes etc.
Since when RedHat has any obligation to follow Gnome defaults when deciding what software goes into THEIR distribution?
It's damn certainly RH's choice, and I'm going to be DAMN pissed if Galeon will be missing from RH X or whatever it's going to be called.
And what comes to Gnome release teams "goal" these days it seems to be to target people with iq10, fine, they may find most potential users there, but at the same time that totally alienates more tech-knowledgeable people, how do they think they're going to get any more developers if those said developers can't even use their own software because it's too damn braindead?
Most people that write software for free do so primarily because they wish to use it themselves, not because they wish to make world better place to live.
IPv6 uses 128 bit addresses, so subtracting off the 76 bits for specifying the star
You might want to check again on that reading lesson you think you had...
We don't even have a slightest clue about how many planets there could be in the universe, so grandparent calculation would damn certainly be talking about stars even if it didn't explicitly mention it (which it does)
What do you think Perl, PHP and Python interpreters are written in?
C.
You will always end up loading those dozens of megabytes of shared libraries, only if you use scripts you end up loading dozens of megabytes of interpreter code as well. Brilliant logic you got there, "(bloat + bloat) bloat"?

No mainstream applications indeed.

God only knows what widget sets these things use
Gtk.
You know, the one that Gnome and gDesklets and Totem and stuff uses?
WTF?

Your definition of "factor of three" seems to be bit different than that of rest of the planet.
From your link (gcj vs. best JVM in each):
SciMark 2.0 composite score of different benchmarks
gcj 109 vs. HotSpot Client 111 (gcj 1.8% slower)
Linpack 1000x1000 MFlops
gcj 162 vs. IBM JDK 201 (gcj 24.1% slower)
Linpack 500x500 MFlops
gcj 176 vs. IBM JDK 170 (gcj 3.5% faster)
Sieve (number of operations/10s)
gcj 6823 vs. IBM JDK 7205 (gcj 5.6% slower)
So. where are those numbers with gcj over three times slower instead of few %?
And those numbers are year and half old, all players have had quite a lot of time to evolve.
As if that's going to happen.

How about goatse and tubgirl pictures, for maximum security! That intruder wouldn't be looking at your "data" again anytime soon...
Not only that, but screams of horror would quickly lead you to his tracks.

I wouldn't be so certain it is lots of people, instead of few LOUD people.
I was going to mention Grisham, as a matter of fact. What are you some mind reader?
Sue him for IP violation, your thoughts should be your own!
but I am pretty sure that powerplants are not as regulated to be clean like cars are.
You're wrong here.
Bigger is usually a LOT better in terms of efficiency and like someone already stated, filtering emissions etc is way cheaper when done centrally.

Two years is an eternity in IT world, check out something bit more recent and you might be pleasantly surprised...
Those ancient screenshots sure aren't very good for PR, though

You know, Europe is a bit more than Bush-licking band of thugs led by Blair and other band of thugs led by Berlusconi.
Germans, for example, already showed their teeth to SCO criminals.
Sure it would.
But don't expect slashdrones whose only experience in on-line content is Kazaa to realize that.
Mentioned in about bazillion other threads, but...
linux-2.4.13-21S.src.rpm
From reading that bugzilla war it seems more like one developer, without any real reasons.
Too bad as that said developer happens to "own" image library code, nothing to do if the asshole doesn't want to play nice.
Galeon has dragging tabs in/out of windows.
